Chapter 1282: Asking for the Way Outside
Asking for the Way Outside
Cheng Shi and Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips thought of the same thing, and they were silent at the same time.
But Cheng Shi still had a deeper doubt in his heart: When was 【Deception】 replaced?
This question is very important, meaning whether Cheng Shi was deceived from beginning to end, or whether the Fear faction had its fruit picked halfway.
Mouth Brother said it was halfway, and a burst of sadness surged in Cheng Shi's heart. It seemed that the leader of the Fear faction really had a problem.
Cheng Shi's silence meant a darker road ahead for the other two people at the scene. Even this caller who launched a resistance against 【Deception】 had lost confidence, so could this road still be walked?
Zhang Jizu's face moved slightly, and he patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder.
"Don't hold it in your heart. If it's very difficult to make a choice, you might as well say it out and let us help think about it. Even if we can't help much, having more brains is always good.
I think Seeing Zhen Xin didn't come back, probably meaning this too.
She won't betray the Jesters, at least she won't betray this world. I can see that she has feelings for this world, even if these feelings are tied to an individual.
You don't need to carry too much either. If the implication of this trial is really as I thought, even if you are seeking survival for yourself, it counts as finding a way out for this world.
Then as a part of the world, we must contribute a share."
Squinty Old Zhang said these words with a serious face, but actually hid one sentence in his heart.
He thought that since it was his wrong choice that caused the Jesters to fall into such a situation, the things he did wrong naturally had to be redeemed by himself.
Cheng Shi was quite encouraged, but he didn't speak not because he was discouraged, but because he was thinking. He felt that even an outsider 【Deception】 shouldn't be snatching him, a jester who belonged to the current world, right? Otherwise, what was the meaning of taking him back?
He is 【Deception】 after all. Isn't snatching the established path of other worlds also a compromise to 【Origin】?
He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he put it aside for the time being, first clarifying everything he knew with the only two helpers in front of him, from getting the mask with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips at the starting point of the path, to eating the bitter fruit of 【Fate】 and fusing fate, then to joining the Fear faction because of fear, and then to stepping on the real universe to find the authority of war...
He took the development of 【Nothingness】 faith as the axis and told everything about how 【Deception】 guided him to become "Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."
Of course, it wasn't without reservation; things unrelated to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi were all omitted.
Finally he said:
"To be honest, I kept convincing myself not to be afraid of the Fear faction again, but everything right now won't let me deceive myself anymore.
The identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, the stance of the Fear faction, just like Maxfort and Chen Xi in this trial, He is intentionally influencing my judgment, making me cut off from this world.
Even Cheng Shi in the real universe told me that 【Deception】 destroys the world and 【Fate】 saves the world.
Ridiculously, I was still thinking about whether there was a problem with their world. Now I realize that it wasn't their world that had a problem, but me!
I believed in 【Deception】 too much, completely forgetting that He is 【Deception】."
Cheng Shi's experience was too rugged and oppressive, so much so that the two Jesters were slightly out of breath under empathy.
Long Jing, while admiring how someone could have such a wonderful life, while sympathizing with Cheng Shi who was crushed by the gaze of 【Nothingness】, sighed quite a bit:
"Since 【Fate】 saves the world, shouldn't we go to 【Fate】 for help first?
Regardless of whether 【Fate】 wants to count you as a sacrifice, in short, before the outer god 【Deception】 takes you away, we must first think of a way to keep you, and then go to resist 【Fate】. This is the optimal solution, isn't it?"
Zhang Jizu nodded, expressing agreement:
"I'm just afraid that 【Deception】 dared to confess everything because He had already anticipated our resistance and attacked 【Fate】 in advance.
Cheng Shi, you are the only believer of 【Fate】. Can you still call Him at this time?"
Cheng Shi shook his head.
He had tried this long ago when he thought of these things.
As early as when he realized that Seeing Zhen Xin's departure was problematic, he directly held the dice and issued a call.
That's right, dice!
Although the dice was a token to see 【Deception】, all words passing through the dice would first be heard by 【Fate】.
Cheng Shi had always used this to call, which was almost equivalent to choosing to show his cards with 【Deception】 from the beginning.
However, this move still received no response from 【Fate】.
This made Cheng Shi's heart sink to the bottom.
No matter how many titles he had on him at this time, they were all given by 【Deception】. Once he rebelled against the 【Deception】 camp, these aids would no longer be aids.
But to oppose the gods, one could only rely on the gods. However, the gods who could oppose 【Deception】 among the gods had already gone extinct with Cheng Shi's "help." Except for 【Fate】, he couldn't even think of a god who could stand up and oppose 【Deception】.
【Life】 won't work, 【Sinking】 is useless, 【Civilization】 is no longer there, 【Chaos】 is incompetent.
【Memory】 had long since stopped, 【Time】...
That's right!
There is also 【Time】!
Was 【Time】 deceived?
He worked conscientiously to calibrate time for this starry sky, and should not let the outer god 【Deception】 destroy everything in this world. If he really was the answer to the universe, He should have the stance to protect himself?
Cheng Shi was not sure, but he had to try.
He said this idea, and immediately received Long Jing's "enthusiastic" response!
"I'll do it!" Long Jing's expression was excited, "This must be done by me. As the only... uh, the only reliable believer of 【Time】 in this trial, I'll go ask the benefactor what He thinks.
If the benefactor is not there, meeting Lord Hour Hand is also fine. His temper is still...
Wait?"
Long Jing suddenly frowned, looking at Cheng Shi with some shock, and asked, "If Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is fake, no, I mean if Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is you... then how did you have past conflicts with Lord Hour Hand now??"
"..."
Cheng Shi's face twitched, thinking that what should come would come.
If he told Long Jing at this time that the hour hand was himself, wouldn't the acrobat break his defense and leave?
But if he didn't say it, did the disappearance of the hour hand mean the denial of 【Time】 to Long Jing, which would make him think wildly?
This question was too difficult.
Just when Cheng Shi was struggling with whether to really have a confession session with Long Jing, Long Jing's expression changed, his eyes flickered and said:
"I understand, it must be 【Deception】 who deceived Lord Hour Hand in order to shape the identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!
Is that it!?"
"..."
Cheng Shi looked at Long Jing, looking at the expression in the other party's eyes which was not questioning or asking but slightly begging, and instantly understood that it wasn't 【Time】 who was deceived by 【Deception】, but the acrobat in front of him.
Sure enough, the primary condition for joining the Jesters was to learn to deceive oneself.
Cheng Shi squeezed out a smile and nodded, not daring to look at Long Jing, but looking at squinty Old Zhang, thoughtfully:
"Perhaps before seeking 【Time】, I can go ask someone else first."
Zhang Jizu was stunned: "Ask who?"
"You!" Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, "Another you!
The magic of 【Time】 can allow people to cross the barriers of time and space to meet. Before confirming the stance of 【Time】 and tearing his face with the Fear faction, while I still have... uh, the power of 【Time】 I asked for from the hour hand, I think it's worth a try!"
"Me?" Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly understanding something.
Long Jing on the side was directly crashed. Listening to this familiar way of meeting, a devout believer of 【Time】 who still felt "Lord Hour Hand is really good" shattered silently.
Bad news, there are two jesters on the scene.
Good news, at least in Old Zhang's eyes, there is only one.
Cheng Shi hadn't done this kind of asking for the way outside, but he had never been as uneasy as he was right now. He was afraid that 【Time】 would also "betray" this world and collude with the outer god 【Deception】.
But fortunately, the time deduction method worked.
After a burst of white light, Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu from another world.
A gravekeeper who was far colder in temperament than the current Zhang Jizu and covered in black robes!
He opened a slit in his squinted eyes, and when he saw that the person in front of him was Cheng Shi, he shook all over, and then lowered his head and muttered:
"It seems the opportunity for redemption has come..."
